(38,036 posts)Gun Violence by State (searched & cannot find a per capita rate since 2020)
Based on the number of gun deaths per capita in 2019 alone, states with the most gun violence are:
Alaska - 24.4
Mississippi - 24.2
Wyoming - 22.3
New Mexico 22.3
Alabama - 22.2
Louisiana - 22.1
Missouri - 20.6
South Carolina - 19.9
Arkansas - 19.3
Montana - 19.3
These states tend to have high gun ownership rates. Montana has the highest with 66.3%, followed by Wyoming with 66.2%, and Alaska with 64.5%.
Lowering gun deaths won't lower the gun industry.
